Jodi L Milner, author of the Stonebearer novels, wanted to be a superhero and a doctor when she was growing up. When she discovered she couldn't fly, she did what any reasonable introvert would do and escaped into the wonderful hero-filled world of fiction and the occasional medical journal. She's lived there ever since. These days, when she's not folding the children or feeding the laundry, she creates her own noble heroes on the page. Her award winning speculative short stories explore the fabric of dreams and have appeared in numerous anthologies, while her novels weave magic into what it means to be human. She still dreams of flying.
